2011

It's been a long and arduous series of votes, so thankfully we finally have the winners! This year's entrants in our Fifth Annual Costume Contest were some of our most creative yet. The reign of Harry Potter winners has ended, though, instead a big congratulations goes to Tenguy dressed as Super Mario! (Is this the start of a series of video game character winners?) Check out the top 15 best dressed pets, as voted by you, below, and see which ones made this year's staff picks!

Trophies have been awarded to the jnAccounts of the owners of each of the pets below. Click on each pet's image to check out the owner's trophy cabinet!

Staff Picks

In addition to the top placing pets above, the JN Staff get together at the end of the competition to pick their favorite from the 150 entries. The only rule for making staff pick is that the pet cannot make it to the top 15 above. Apart from that, staffers are free to nominate any pet they wish, and the pets with two or more nominations will have the 2011 Staff Pick trophy bestowed upon their owners' trophy cabinets!
